Bsecher and IngersOll

lt once happened that Mr.. Beecber and
Mr.. K )bert 1ngersoll were brought face
to face before Brooklyn audience, and
the person who was to preside insisted
that Mr.. Beecher should introduce Mr..
lngersoll as the orator of the evening
Mr.. Becher consented, and declared Mr..
lngsrsoll to be the most brilliant speaker
of the English tongue in any land on the
globe. Mr.. 1ngersoll was for the moment
confused, but, quickly rallying to the
command of his wits, be said in response:
"The world waited thousands of years
for Henry Ward Beecher, and the world
will wait long time for another" Then
Mr.. Ingersoll dashed off into his speech.
When the speech was over and the au-
dience was still waiting, Mr.. Ingersoll,
turning to Mr.. Beecher, said: Il want to
thank you that your intellectual horizon
Is large enough, your sky broad enough
to enable you to grasp the hand of man
in the cause of humanity, however much
he disagrees with you" This aroused
the audience to the highest pitch of ex-
sitement, and Mr. Beecher obtained a
vote of thanks for Mr.. lngersoll, which
the latter capped by leading three cheers
for Mr.. Becbeer. The life of the Brook

WHEN THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO RooST.

You may take the world az it comes and
goes,
And you will b. sure to find
That fate will square the accounts she owes,
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that a man has done,
By whatsoever induced,
Return at last to him, one by one,
As the chickens come home To roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch and save,
While your boarded w .ath expands,
Till the cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life's last sands
You will have your balance struck some
night,
And you'll find your hoard reduced
You'll view your life in another light,
When the chickens come home to roo.t
You can stint your soul and starve your
heart
With the Eusks of a barren creed,
But God will know if you play IA part,
Will know in your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there be reduced
From creed alone? You will lie there dumb
W lille your chickens come home to roost
Sow as you will, there's time to reap,
For the good and bad as well,
And conscience whether we wake or sleep,
Is either a heaven or hell.
And every wrong will lind its place,
And every passion loosed,
Drifts back and meets you face to face.
When the chickens come home to roost.
Whether you re over or under the sod
The result will he the salue:
You cannot escape the hand Of God,
You must bear your sin or shame
No matter whats carved on marble slab,
When the items all produced
You'll find that ST. Peter was keeping
"tab,"
And that chickens cHme home to roost.

Defeated by New York.

Indianapolis Defeated by New York.
The opening game of the closing series on the
home grounds attracted crowd of fair size only
TO Athletic Park yesterday afternoon. Threat
ening skies did as much as uything else to keep
people away, but the promise of rain was not
fulfilled and the game proceeded until darkness
put an end to it, after the Indianapolis teams
half Of the eighth inning had been played.
The New Yorks have hit Healy every time he
has pitched against them this season. and had no
more trouble than usual in finding him yester-
day. Conner landed onto the bail hard every
time he took up the stick, and contributed the
most enjoyable feature of the game by knocking
the ball over the right field fence for home
run. The members of the home team were I'M
able to hit Keefe TO advantage. and although
they ran bases with a dash and spirit to be COM
nended, were unable to get enough men across
the plate to make the Giants do their best.
A base hit by Gore, wild throw by Healy
and bAe fumbles by both Gasscock and Denny
let in the first run. in the first inning. Another
was scored in the second on Browns base on
balls Keefe's long hit to rightfeld fence and
Cores fly to Seery. Connor's home run, an en-
rcr by Shomherg and Gillespie's two-bagger
added two in the third; and punched hits yielded
one in each OF the sixth aud seventh innings for
the visitors.
For indianapolis, Shomberg and Brown scored
the only runs, in the seventh inning. Shomberg
led off with a hit, Denny went out fly to
Herman, Brown made single to right
which Shomberg got to third, passed ball let
ting him home and Brown to third. Basseits
out at first scored Brown. In the eighth an
other run scored. but it was too dark to
play New York's half of the inning the game
was called back to the seventh. and there ended.
In this inning Long John Healy made a two
base hit, but was thrown out at home trying to
score Seery's hit q left The latter got
around on Gasscock's out at first, Connors fun
ble and passed ball. Following is the score:
